Getting a professional massage is always good, but can get expensive. As can boating.

Where are you going? That determines a lot of your options, as well as the price of a massage.

-rub each others feet, hands, and shoulders
-walking or hiking (beach, mountain, or open field)
-road trip someplace you are both interested in
-swimming
-hot tub/sauna
-bon fire
-candles and relaxing music
-dancing
-reading (next to each other or to each other)
-cook a meal
-feed each other (chocolates, cake, strawberries, etc)

It really depends on what you both enjoy.

lay on the beach with the breeze blowing your hair, the sound of the ocean and a guy rubbing oil on your back.

You mentioned a boat trip… I’m not sure what pastimes you and your boyfriend enjoy, but fishing is a good activity for stimulating conversation! If your icky about fish guts, then it’ll give him the chance to come to your metaphorical rescue and play the “strong man” figure… and if you play it right it may help him to feel accomplished and masculine because he’s taken care of you and provided for you, while you get some good uninterrupted quality time. =)

If you brave the fish guts and let him teach you then it may also stimulate protective male feelings too, and constantly asking for help with bait and such wont get annoying~ =)

I enjoy playing volley ball or any other activity. When you raise your heart rate you also raise the dopamine and endorphins – this makes you feel happy.
